Isn't it fucking insane that so many people think that IQs are real. Like people genuinely believe you are born with one set level of intelligence that can be measured on a scale from 1 to ~200. As if intelligence wasn't extremely nuanced and completely subjective. And the fact that the majority of scientists that have advocated for IQ tests in the past have been eugenicists doesn't seem to concern anyone either

I’m starting to realize we may not all be ready for Racism 102, aka “often times, you don’t think ‘I’m going to be racist,’ you just act on it.”

It does not matter what other reasons you have for being racist. It was still racist. White people lashing out on people of color when In Their Feelings About Something is still racism. White people objectifying people of color for WHATEVER reason is still racism.

One thing I really like about Beverly Engel's book It Wasn't Your Fault, which is about PTSD-induced toxic shame, is that quite a bit of it deals with people who haven't broken The Cycle of Abuse (TM) and have gone on to hurt others. That's a really underserved and vulnerable patient population, and statistically, it's also MASSIVE. I don't think I've read a single other self-help type book on PTSD and self-loathing that confronts the possibility that you're exactly as bad as you think you are.

[angelofthemornings-deactivated2]

I felt better that it so much as mentioned that children can react to abuse with ungovernable rage. Everybody likes the image of PTSD patients as internalizing everything and becoming doormats, which does happen, and often, but it's not the only narrative. Personally I've always hated my abusers and have always wanted everyone who so much as breathed wrong in my direction from ages 0 to 18 to burn eternally in hell. I *never* thought any of it was my fault and ever since I was a toddler I was willing to make it everybody else's problem, and it's really relieving to read a clinical perspective that acknowledges that abuse victims can act that way too.

[reasonablywittyatbest]

It's wild to me that its such a neglected subset of abuse victims. Its really common. When I still lived with my parents and was still subjected to my father every fucking day I would lash out terribly at my mother, to the point when i went to visit them for years afterwards she was afraid I would lash out again. We've worked it out, I'm a much better person when I'm not regularly subjected to mental and emotional abuse, but like, its just so common.

I think it must be, at least partially, because, people hate the imperfect victim. Its easy for so many people to sympathize with someone who never lashed out. Less so for people to sympathize with people who are angry and lash out. Even though its a perfectly sensible reaction to being hurt over and over. I'm sure most people would like to think they would simply never.

I don't think this is the whole reason, but, I think it plays into it.

[sunspotpony]

Similarly, there’s a narrative of, you cannot experience grief over having fucked up. That if you are hurting because you caused harm, because you were the cause of harm, that you’re not allowed to grieve, because you “earned your sorrow. You deserve to bottle it up and to hurt for the bad things you have done,”

Which is punitive logic. It’s copthink. Which is bad.

[angelofthemornings-deactivated2]

In fact, you can actually give yourself trauma over fucking up too badly and doing, witnessing, or failing to prevent something evil that goes against your morals; for instance, if you steal your mother's life savings due to drug addiction, kill a civilian during a military operation (please do not join the military), or became abusive because you didn't have the tools and skills yet to handle BPD. In the field of psychology this is called "moral injury" or "perpetrator trauma."

Thinking about the ending again (MAJOR ENDING SPOILERS FOR MERMAID MASK)

Do you think Gripp maybe... wanted to get caught?

Idk. The compass - he put the Necklace Key in there on purpose. He even tells the team that he put it in plain sight so Sinthia (or other people) could see that he was 'working on it'.

When you do his Suspicion segment, he says he's been looking forward to this part, and is disappointed that the team has decided to grill him over his cane, of all things.

When the complete Mermaid's Tongue is placed on the table, he has a perfect opportunity to hit the lights and run before he's outed. But he waits for the team to put everything together - encourages them to keep probing, keep going. He admits motive and answers questions.

(And the compass at the end... oogh, it makes me so emotional. Something about the service sticker in particular really hit me hard. And he encourages the team to keep putting answers together so that everyone has as much closure as possible, tells Symmetry to put aside her anguish, before he goes. For all his anger and bad choices and manipulation, there is in Godrik Gripp still someone who cares about other people, the people on that submarine.)

I can't bring any other immediate evidence to mind but I do feel like he went out of his way to make his guilt more obvious. Whether he was hoping someone would bring it up and he could steer the conversation towards the location of the Mermaid's Tongue, or if he just felt guilty, or both... I dunno.

EDIT: Ty @finalvortex for reminding me that Gripp points the Necklace Fragment out when you show him the Iron Bell, that's probably the biggest point so far!
